Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Whole House Surge Protector?
A whole house surge protector is a device that protects your home's entire electrical system from sudden power surges. These surges can result from lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, or even the operation of household appliances. Installing a whole house surge protector helps shield your sensitive electronics, appliances, and wiring from potential damage.
Can I Use a Whole House Surge Protector in Conjunction with Other Types of Protection?
Yes, you can use a whole-house surge protector in conjunction with other types of protection, such as point-of-use surge protectors and surge-protected power strips. However, to avoid potential hazards, it is essential to ensure that all devices are properly installed and meet safety standards.
Can Whole House Surge Protectors Safeguard Against Lightning Strikes?
While a whole house surge protector can provide some protection against lightning strikes, it is not a guaranteed safeguard. Direct lightning strikes can produce extremely high levels of voltage that may exceed the capacity of even the most robust surge protectors. It is always best to have additional measures in place, such as unplugging devices during storms or installing a lightning rod, to protect your property.
How does a whole house surge protector work?
It absorbs excess voltage before it reaches your home’s electrical system, protecting outlets, appliances, and sensitive electronics.
Do I still need power strip surge protectors?
While a whole house surge protector provides broad protection, additional power strip surge protectors can add an extra layer of defense for sensitive electronics.
Can a surge protector help prevent power outages?
No, surge protectors only defend against voltage spikes. For power backup, consider installing a home generator or UPS system.
How long do whole house surge protectors last?
Most units last 5-10 years, depending on the frequency of power surges. Regular electrical inspections help ensure ongoing protection.
Do you offer financing for surge protector installation?
Yes! We provide flexible financing options to help homeowners invest in electrical safety.
